Re: Discover Multicast Address
Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance
There is no single multicast address for the current network. A set
of multicast addresses (224.0.0.0 to 224.0.0.255 for local lan) are
available and you can choose to broadcast to any of them. The clients
have to be listening to the same address. You either need to
configure clients and servers to use the same address or have clients
check a list of possible addresses till it finds data being sent by
the expected server.
